Question

A count went up from 450 to 600. What was the approximate percent increase?

Answer 1

%increase = [(Final - Initial) / Initial] × 100
= [(600 - 400)/600] × 100
= 1/3 x 100
= 33.33%

∴ 33.33% in percentage increase.

Answer 2

Answer:

Percentage increase is 33.3% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage\ increase = \frac{Change\ in\ value\times 100}{intial\ value}$

Change in value = Final value - initial value

As given

A count went up from 450 to 600 .

Final value = 600

Initial value = 450

Change in value = 600 - 450

$Percentage\ increase = \frac{150\times 100}{450}$    

$Percentage\ increase = \frac{15000}{450}$    

Percentage increase = 33.3% (Approx)

Therefore the percentage increase is 33.3% .
